Jonathan AlterThe thing in comedy is that once you start worrying about something not succeeding, you're frozen. There's no verdict on anything.

There would be his willingness to bestow upon me the power to reassure him. He would trust me with his happiness.

Chaz BundickThe Supreme Court said nothing about silliness, but I suspect it may play more of a role than one might suppose. People are, if anything, more touchy about being thought silly than they are about being thought unjust... Probably the first slave ship, with Negroes lying in chains on its decks, seemed commonsensical to the owners who operated it and to the planters who patronized it.

Bobby McFerrinI wake up in the morning and I feel like Iโm missing something. I know that thereโs something not right, and it takes me a while to remember what it is . . . then I remember. My best friend is gone. My only friend. It was silly of me to rely so much on one person.
Cecelia AhernWhen we pray, instead of trying to produce love in our souls toward God, we should be basking in God's love for us. How foolish to stay indoors in the cold, dark little room off the self, trying to turn on the light and turn up the heat, when we can just go outside into God's glorious Sonlight and receive his rays! How silly to fuss with artificial tanning salons and lotions and lights when the Son is out!
